Re: de Havilland Dragon Rapide destroyed Jan. 26th, 1942 Penfui, Koepang, Timor
Hello Stig,
The six casualties came from an article I ran across. Searching the internet, I came across the book “Every Day a Nightmare” which had a very similar if not identical entry. Footnotes from the book indicated that the six casualties came from someone’s diary entry, from yet another book.
I do not have Boer’s book, but a friend who does told me that Boer has the Dragon Rapide being strafed at Andir on Feb. 19th, 1942. I would guess that the Dragon Rapide was strafed and damaged on Feb 19th, and then being “officially” abandoned on March 3rd.
